I am concerned about the Flocabulary assignments. I have given class time every day- and asked you to do one assignment a day. Many have put little to NO effort in for completing these assignments. These are all part of your grade. Be responsible- MAKE AN EFFORT!!

As of 4pm today- I went in and RESET the Quiz portions of Flocabulary for anyone who scored below a 70%. You have the chance to go back in and retake the QUIZ portion for these assignments. The due date is the same…. this Sunday 11/24 by midnight.
